feelin' good

Good morning! I'm in a great mood today. I had a bit of a stressful week with both work and staying on track with WW but I made it through. My weight watchers weigh-in is every Saturday morning before I go to work at my second job. I lost 5lbs this week! Whoo hooo!! I will post my losses (and gains) - to keep me honest!

I've done a lot of sharing recently about my food addiction. I feel really good, it was hard to bring up and admit to my family but as I should have known everyone I've shared with has been REALLY supportive. Every time I talk about this it gets a little bit easier. I am so insanely grateful to have such wonderful family and friends. Thank you thank you thank you!!

As on top of the world as I feel right now, realistically I know I'll come down from this peak and hit a valley eventually. I hope that when that happens I rely on the same people that are being so supportive of me right now. I hope that I pick up the phone to talk to someone when I'm feeling sad or angry or lonely and want to binge. I wish I didn't have to think about the possibility of a binge but I know that it is a real possibility and I need to have a plan made ahead of time in how I am going to deal with it when I see it coming. Not to say this journey is easy or uneventful right now but in my experience the beginning is always the easiest because I'm jazzed about starting anew. I enjoy each loss on the scale Saturday mornings and in the beginning before I get bored with the program it comes off easily. The real challenge lies ahead, a bit farther down the road. Right now I feel positive that I will reach out the next time I feel like I'm slipping. Sometimes when you're really sad, logic and responsibilty take a back seat and sort of cloud your judgement. I really hope that I will pick up the phone when I need too. I will work very hard to continue to reach out and share with my family and friends. I love you so much!
